I am a student at the University of California, San Diego, studying Environmental Systems: Earth Science. I currently work as a lab assistant in Dr. Ralph Keeling's Atmospheric Oxygen Research Laboratory at the Scripps institute of Oceanography. I am passionate about protecting our planet from further destruction due to human developments, and I love discovering new music and exploring new genres[1].

Scientific & Environmental Concerns
[edit]Recently, many scientific and environmental authorities have spoken out against the pipeline, including Greenpeace and nearly 170 scientists dedicated to conservation and preservation of threatened natural resources and endangered species.[7][8] Environmentalists and Native Americans alike have expressed their fears that the Missouri River might become contaminated in the event of a spill or leak, jeopardizing a source of drinking and irrigation water that would leave thousands without clean water.[7][9] Many are alarmed at the incomplete environmental review that has been performed to analyze the impact of the pipeline on its surroundings, claiming that even much smaller, less risky development projects require more rigorous impact analysis than has been completed for the Dakota Access Pipeline.[9] The US Army Corps of Engineers has been hastily approved during every step of this process, ignoring federal regulations and centuries-old treaties between Native American tribes, yet the largest problem for the future of the American Midwest is the apparent lack of environmental foresight and consideration.[10] All of these factors combine with the increased greenhouse gas emissions that will come after the inevitable consumption of the 470,000 barrels of crude oil (enough to produce 374 million gallons of gasoline) being transported daily, and it is not hard to see why environmentalists stand united against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline.[10]
